How do you save a widower who weaves a road map of self-destruction
because his wife of forty years has suddenly died and he's unable to
cope with the loss?
 Graham Peters has shut everyone out
of his life and has tried unsuccessfully to immortalize his wife,
Amanda, by reliving daily (through flashbacks) their life together. But
with a little prodding from best friend, Charlie Ford, Graham's spirit
begins to lift, and he finds that there is life after death in the
likeness of Ms. Rita Long, a sultry jazz singer at a local nightclub,
far from the church that has been his life.
A man now obsessed with the beautiful, long-legged Rita
Long, Graham is faced with questions. Can he love another woman the way
he loved Amanda? Will his daughters think he's lost his mind because
he's seeing Rita? After all, Amanda has only been in the ground a
couple of months. Can he bring this new woman into his home that reeks
of Amanda...to possibly begin a new life together?
Ms. Rita Long comes with baggage-an ex-husband, ex-NBA star who is
consumed with tapping into her success to satisfy his gambling debts.
And there's a secret admirer, Graham's best friend Charlie, whose
jealousy turns to rage when Rita and Graham become an item that
guarantees an explosive end.
It will take all that is within Rita and Graham to save
the love that has blossomed between them as their foes line up one by
one and threaten to destroy their relationship and old friendships. And
for Graham the question becomes, can he still have the memories of the
love of his life while establishing a brand-new one
This is the story of love and happiness, friendship and betrayal, destruction and resurrection.
